Evaluation of the hydric resources in the hydrographic system of Mijares-La Plana. Effects under a scene of climatic change

Abstract

This work proposes two objectives: responding to the basic issue of how much water
there is as well as projecting the water resources in the future. Evaluating evapotranspiration was the main methodological innovation of our work,
made by Penman–Monteith method. Kriging techniques have been applied over the values
from meteorological observation points to get a regular grid, used to calculate regional average
values. Concluding, resources are currently tight to serve the demand, but they may be
seriously committed to the changes estimated by climatic models.
